ReapTheChaos:Guadior42: ReapTheChaos: What's even more unfortunate is when idiots take a foreign word and try to pronounce it as if it's English. That word doesn't sound like you people think it does.

Any pronunciation is going to be funny as hell.

Every few years some Japanese company does something like this. I went looking for the legendary Japanese electronics maker who was about to introduce an early pocket computer -- I seem to remember it was Sanyo, but who knows -- and had to be rather pointedly warned by their US distributor not to call it "The Handjob."

Of course now, trying to search for "handjob" and "Japan," you get all sorts of results that have nothing whatever to do with portable computers.
